ESCAPE GUIDE

GUIDE + WEB PORTAL

Editorial Dear Reader, With only 20 issues of ABSOLUTE ESCAPE we reached 1,725,000 readers in 154 countries, which is a magnificent number, for a new project and outside the box of what is normal in tourist magazines.

The new ABSOLUTE ESCAPE portal is about to debut at absoluteescape.pt, and we continue with the current one with an average of 14,000 visitors per month, which leads us to aspire that the new platform can have more than 25,000 monthly visits in 2023.

António Vidigal | CEO & Editor-in-Chief

We want to go further in 2023 we will have 3 magazines, 7 supplements and 3 guides, always in the digital component, with a digital magazine and a web portal.

With ABSOLUTE ESCAPE GUIDE we innovated once again and added a digital guide and a web portal, both the magazine and the portal are always up to date, and the guide is available for download and free access.

We say goodbye to the year 2022, with 20 editions of ABSOLUTE ESCAPE, with the first issue of SAVORY and ABSOLUTE GUIDE, better is almost impossible, but in 2023 we will exceed all expectations.

I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a fantastic year 2023 Thank you for following us on this fantastic adventure.

Located in the friendly village of Travancinha, 12 km from the cities of Seia and Oliveira do Hospital, Chão do Rio is the ideal accommodation to get to know the entire region of the Natural Park of Serra da Estrela throughout the different seasons.

Coming from urban lives, but in love with nature and with rurality living in the childhood memory, was in Chão do Rio, at Travancinha, in 2001, that the couple found a place that makes them feel complete, where smiles come from inside and happiness happens in the simple things of life, like planting a tree.

HOTEL CONVENTO DE SÂO PAULO

There is a place where the serenity of the Alentejo, the diversity of a mountain range and respect for heritage intersect, allowing for a unique experience based on the richness of the past, the authenticity of the region and the refinement of the details that respond to the demands of the 21st century.

Located in Serra d’Ossa, between Estremoz and Redondo, the Convento de São Paulo is a true work of art, perfectly preserved, with a collection of tiles worthy of a museum gallery.

True legends of the history of Portugal passed through its rooms and corridors, such as D. Sebastião, D. João IV and D. Catarina de Bragança. Proof of this is the canvas restored by the National Museum of Ancient Art in Lisbon, existing in the Convent Library, which attests to Sebastião’s passage through this space at the end of 1577.
